Is exercise a choice or survival.

EBS 1TV documentary prime 'Survival Sports', which will be broadcast on the 23rd, asks the essence of 'survival power' in a society that has lost its body. Actor Ji Jin-hee narrates the relationship between humans and the body.

◆ a society that doesn't have to move

Absence of physical education classes for adolescents who spend an average of 10.4 hours a day sitting and the first and second graders of elementary school. With a learning culture focused on entrance exams and the increase in the use of digital devices including smartphones, children rely on school physical education for most of their physical activities. The result is not just a drop in stamina. It leads to a weakening of resilience, concentration, and collaboration ability and shakes the foundation of life itself.

"Survival sports" asks. How long can we survive as beings with a body.

◆ Exercise is not a hobby, but an asset to withstand a crisis

A woman who goes into the ring as a doctor and professional boxer, a teacher and high school health department that builds a gym in schools and trains with students, a community-run children's rugby team, a family that connects generations with CrossFit, and a world-class computer engineer in their mid-80s.

For them, exercise is not health care. It is a training to learn how to endure failure, and it is the power to raise yourself when you collapse. In fact, they say that at the moment of crisis, the experience of training the body worked as a driving force to push life.

◆ Children Lose the 'Alphabet' of Exercise

Meanwhile, the lack of exercise among Korean teenagers is also evidenced by figures. The sedentary time of Korean teenagers is more than 10 hours a day, which is among the top OECD countries, and some indicators show that physical activity is lower than that of those in their 70s. In the meantime, the level of physical strength felt by adolescents themselves is also decreasing every year.

The problem is not a lack of will. It is growing without learning basic movement technology (FMS), the so-called "Alphabet of Exercise." If the basic ability to run, throw, and balance is not formed, sports will soon become a "stage only for children who do well." "Survival Sports" examines what problems the absence of early school-age sports creates in the long run through expert interviews and field cases.

◆ The Future Found in the Body, Not in Technology

An era where AI and technology replace life. However, this documentary finds answers for the future in the human body that still breathes and moves, not in systems or equipment. What needs to change for exercise to become a "survival skill" accessible to all, not a privilege of a particular class.

Survival sports' does not lock exercise into personal hobbies or self-management. It illuminates three-dimensionally how the experience of training the body is linked to an individual's self-esteem, community resilience, and society's sustainability.

Actor Ji Jin-hee narrated the documentary, adding to the weight. Known for his professional climbing skills, he said, "Climbing is the best exercise" at the dubbing scene. His calm yet firm voice convincingly conveys the message that the body is the asset of survival. It will air at 9:55 p.m. on the 23rd.
